Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Quesadillas

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Optional Add-Ins

  • Sliced Kalamata olives
  • Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • Red pepper flakes

For Serving

  • Greek yogurt or tzatziki
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté the filling – Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and cook 2–3 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with oregano and black pepper. Remove from heat.
  2. Assemble the quesadillas – Lay tortillas flat. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over half of each tortilla. Top with spinach-onion mixture, feta cheese, and optional add-ins. Fold tortillas over to close.
  3. Cook – Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy and the cheese is fully melted.
  4. Slice & serve – Transfer to a cutting board, slice into wedges, and garnish with fresh herbs.
